Kent State May 4, More than just another anniversary.

"‘We Must Do More Than Echo the Past’: Inside the Kent State Protests for Palestine
Students are marking the anniversary of the Kent State shootings by focusing on Gaza."

" I immediately recognize Yaseen Shaikh, Camille Tinnin, and Magdalene Weiss-Vopat, three leaders of the Kent State student movement, by the keffiyehs draped across their shoulders. Last November, in Burlington, Vermont, three college students were shot by a forty-eight-year-old white man who had seen them wearing the Palestinian scarf. . .Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League—which is running a campaign to “fight hate” on college campuses—likened the keffiyehs to a Nazi swastika.
But these American students are no Nazis. I am here to ask them about their place in a new protest movement that, in just over two weeks, has seen more than 2,000 people arrested on campuses across the country. . .For his part, Shaikh says, “I need to believe that, if I do what I can, that there is a sense of providence, that the movement will continue to feed itself, that there will be a free Palestine and an end to injustice. That is something that I have to believe in.”"

"In my honest opinion, McDonald's is a poster boy for greedflation in plain sight."

McDonald's is poison. Why are people killing themselves for it? I will never understand.

"For the price of eating food from McDonald's you can get good meals from Luby's or similar chains which last 2 days. Yes, it actually costs a lot less to get nutritious meals than to eat the poison McDonald's sells. My menu from Luby's yesterday was baked fish almondine with spinach and candied yams, along with a wheat roll. Could only eat half the meal and I was full. Will be eating the rest of it today. "
